Abstract
⺠The mere observation of a child's distress induced autonomic arousal in the mother. ⺠Facial thermal modulations of mothers correlated with those of their children. ⺠Mother and child show a situation-specific parallelism in autonomic variations. ⺠Maternal empathy embodies a direct sharing of visceral-autonomic processes.
